Recent presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has endorsed Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) as “by far the best choice” to succeed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), a reflection of the early support Scott’s leadership bid is picking up among prominent conservatives.
“Rick Scott is *BY FAR* the best choice among those running for Senate Republican Leader,” Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the White House race earlier this year, said in a post on the social platform X. “He successfully led a big business & a big state, there’s no doubt he can do this job.
“He also possesses a very rare quality in DC: caring about what voters actually want. I endorse him,” he said.
Ramaswamy’s hearty endorsement comes as other Senate conservatives are hailing Scott’s entry into the race.
“@SenRickScott’s entry into the Senate GOP leadership race — together with the plan he’s offered regarding how he’d lead the Senate Republican Conference – is more than just a positive development. It’s a game-changer,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on X.
Lee is holding back on making an endorsement in the race for now but expressed satisfaction that Scott is pledging to outline “a positive, aspirational agenda” for the Senate GOP conference that would spell out what Republican senators “stand for.”
“This is the first time since I’ve been in the Senate when a colleague running for a GOP conference leadership position has offered a distinct plan to let us know how he’d lead the conference,” Lee posted.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), another prominent Senate conservative, echoed Lee’s excitement over Scott’s leadership bid.
“I couldn’t agree more,” he said.

RINO vote to split hopefully with the other 2
The probolem is that McConnell wants RINOs to inherit his money tree control for candidates.
Rick Scott is the nest bet by far......the others are just incestuous money mongers from a networl of national country clubs who think their sh*t does not stink. We need MAGA people in the Senate. Rick Scott will do the job.
Rick Scott would definitely be acceptable. Much, much better than the odious “Three Johns”, Thune, Cornyn and Barrasso.
Cornyn, in particular is a smelly McCain Rat, with Thune not far behind.
There are so many damn RINO’s in congress. All of them are actually democrats but run as Republicans to get elected. I swear, it is not enough to vote them out. These type of maggot politicians should be rotting in prison, awaiting their execution. /spit
“McConnell wants RINOs to inherit his money tree “
And people in Hell want ice water. McConnell can piss up a rope and try to come to terms with the fact that his nefarious rule might be over. He and his fellow-traitor wife will be free to move to China.
Where’s your guy stand on this ? Is he not interested ?
Rick Scott is great. The only thing wrong is that his head looks like Mr. Clean!
Candor….great idea. Push that. We need to see what Vivek can do…..not just say.
